I realize that anonymous reviews don't really count for much in people's eyes, but I couldn't resist commenting anyway. Your story really was outstanding. It has all the makings of a great scene in one of those award-winning movies. The romance, the darkness, the emotional angst: it's all there. I also really enjoyed the conclusion. It was completely unexpected. Often people will mention the memoir, but never incorporate it into the story otherwise. You did an unbelievably amazing job. This is the type of story that people come back to again and again, not simply for the beautifully written sex scenes, but for that feeling you get at the end of reading something truly moving.

... Um, wow. I really have no words to respond to this. I realize as an annonymous comment, you won't get this reply, but thank you. I am flabbergasted that someone would think so highly of this piece.

Wonderfully porny fic, much love. But what got me was the excerpt from Elizabeth's autobiography - that is exactly who she is, and it really gives that emotional punch that the fic was leading to the entire time. Thankyou for writing this.

[ed_84]

Thanks! The autobiography bit was tacked on at the very end, moments before posting. I thought it was appropriate though! ;)

It's just wow! This is an awesome fic. I like this AU, really, and it would have been great if that had happened for real. I especially like that Rodney, Carson, John and Elizabeth keep in touch, and that Elizabeth was still depressed. It was a great sequel/AU for that dinner scene, if the SGC had never called.

[ed_84]

Exactly. If the phonecall never happened, than I could totally imagine the guys just all drifting apart like this, especially Elizabeth. I thought that was worthy of exploration.

Thanks for the review.

Wooohooo! This is your first Shep/Weir fic? It's amazing!

I loved the sex - hot and fast, full of those repressed emotions and did I mention hot? But what I really loved is how you made me want to shake Elizabeth and just tell her "Hey! This guy here loves you, stop thinking about the city already!"

*glee*

I hope you'll write more fics. Great work!

[ed_84]

Yep, first one, and omg, intimidating to write! It doesn't help that my flist is highly populated with talented writers, and I feel like a newbie with my hand in the air, going can I play too?

Thanks for the review!

Tell me about that feeling. I have it all the time. But I write. And write. Don't let that stop you, especially if you have stories to share, and I hope you do.

I do, in fact, have a really uber long companion piece to this fic - for Ronon/Teyla side of it. it's actually my OTP for the show, and the plotbunny is very... shall we say, INTIMIDATING to approach.
